UOPD adds another officer

The University of Oregon Police Department added another line police officer on April 11, 2014: Jared Davis, who has been a public safety officer with the UO since 2010.

Davis, who holds a bachelor's degree in law enforcement and business from Western Oregon University, will enter the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training Basic Police Academy, followed by a field training and evaluation program before assuming regular duty for UOPD.

These hires bring UOPD's tally of sworn police officers to 16. Three other UOPD line officer recruits are currently in field training locally after graduating from the academy, and two others are in the academy.

The University of Oregon Police Department is the law enforcement and security authority for the University of Oregon's main campus in Eugene, Oregon.
